Well, isn't that a lovely question! Anderson shelters have sandbags outside to help protect them from bomb blasts during wartime. The sandbags act as a barrier to absorb the impact and keep the shelter safe for those seeking refuge inside. It's all about creating a safe and peaceful space during difficult times.
